Sustainable packaging in the cosmetics sector
The cosmetics industry is undergoing a strong and rapid ecological transition. There is now talk of creating products that are sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Industry giants have already moved in this direction and are making their environmental commitment a real production strategy. The initiatives that have been put in place put the recycled paper at the forefront of packaging. Even labels are now printed on paper. Recyclable and renewable paper offers various opportunities for innovation in the era of the circular economy and can replace all those materials that were previously and traditionally used for packaging.
Thus, a revolution is taking place both in packaging and in the product itself. There are a new series of products called 'solids' which are packaged in cardboard. This cardboard is often made of recycled fibers or from sustainably managed forests.
In terms of logistics, eco-design measures have also been taken to save raw materials. Packaging that is lightened and reduced in size also allows more products to be transported.
Among the companies that have received awards for sustainability is La Saponaria, with its line of solid products. The packaging system for the solid body cream consists of an outer box made of cardboard, which can be recycled with paper, while the inner protective shell is 100% biodegradable cellulose. La Saponaria won the ECO PACKAGING AWARDS in the BODY CREAMS category.
Another company, which won the ECO PACKAGING AWARDS for the category body cleansing - other materials, is Officina Naturae. Its solid shampoo has packaging made of FSC-certified cardboard, as small as possible, and made from recyclable materials.
By now, cosmetic companies have launched themselves into the world of sustainability and eco-packaging to offer not only quality products but also green ones. And what are you waiting for to try these new product lines?
